credit is based upon mortgage Of the
property; Of the debtor. It is the excep.
ton to fad q debt:Which Is not covered
by mortgage or lien, and under the laws
of this State the mortgage is construed
to be upon the homestead. The only
class of cases in which parties can gen.
orally claim homestead is in actions for
damages. With the Homestead Law in
credit is practically abolished
to- all WHO do not own more thau the
homestead. II does not ipjure the rich
man, for he has sufficient surplus to
assure his credit; and when he goes to
lend money or rextend credit, he takes a
mortgage to secure it. The insecurity Of
loans without mortgage, and the general
evils Of the lien and mortgage system,
have contributed largely to the prevail
ing high rate of interest. The home
stsad is in large measure responsible
for this. We would not abolish all ex.
.enption, but We would leave it for the
Legislature, and make the exemption
very small, something like it was before
the war. Then We would reduce the
rate Of interest to seven per cent, and
we believe the country would begin to
prosper. An agricultural people cannot
prosper with interest at ten per cent.
They cannot borrow money at that rate.
and make their farms pay it back. High
interest stops material development, it
increases the cost of all credit prices, and
decreases the price of lands. The aboli.
ton of the homestead would render hun.
.dreds Of thousands of dollars worth of
property available as q basis of credit,
without resort to liens and mortgages.
ItHould make our people careful, and
would mean fair and square dealing
between all of our citizens. II would
infase new confidence among men, and
with that new energy. Instead Of ipiur.
ing the the poor man; il would lift him
up and give him credit, and, if with it
the rate of interest is reduced, We have
no doubt that the laborer and the man
sof small means would soon feel that 8
igrieYous burden had been lifted from his
shoulders: il the labor of bread winning.

His Sweetheart Saved Ills Life.

One of the best.known men in Nash
Vile owes his life and success to his
sweetheart. Ho was born and reared or
one of the British Isles, the son of q pros.
porous banker. When nearly 81 he had
serious difficulty with his father, and
was hidden never to darken the doors of
his ancestral home. 1t was late at night
when he left the house and wandered
along moor which bordered the family
domain. He was prostrated with grief
and remorse and determined to take his
life. He sat down and took his pistol
out. As he reflected, he took photo.
graph of his sweetheart from an inner
pocket of his coat and scanned the we'll
known features with eyes dimmed with
tears. Thinking upon her hope returned,
and he determined to live for her sake if
not for his own. he hastily showed the
weapon into his pocket and started for
the railway station. He came to
America and drifted to Nashville He
prospered in business and is now highly
respected citizen.
Unfortunately the romance ends here.
For years he had no communication with
his family, and the letters he wrote his
sweetheart miscarried, for shortly after
he left her family moved to distant
town. He returned home a few days ago
and sought out his early love. She was
married and three children played about
her knees. He has consoled himself with
q fair American, and considers himself
one of the happiest of men. But he has
never ceased to thank his stars for the
girl who once saved his lie; that her
influence did prevent him from suicide
he frankly stated to one who is familiar
with his life.-MashviNe american.

Cast Her Lot With the MormoDs.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1o.-This telegram

New YORK, Sept. 1O.-This telegram
was received at Castle Garden yesterday
morning:
New BRIGHTON, Pa, sept.7.
The Rev. Thomas d. Drum, Chaplain

hands of Mormons. Her daughter
wishes to prevent her going to Salt Lake.
Can you detain her, so that she can be

and expenses. Rev. T. J. DANNER.
In the absence of DR.. Drum, DR.. John
W. Kramer gave the telegram to DIR.
Niglutsch of the Landing Bureau, and
waited himself at the Garden for the
arrival of the passengers from the Wis.
consin, which got in on time With more
than 400 Mormons aboard. AT II 80
A. NJ. the first load was brought to Castle
Garden, and DR.. Niglutsch picked out
Mrs. Barnes from among them. She is a
fair looking English woman, little past
middle age, and with hair slightly tinged
with gray. With her was her husband
and two stepdaughters. She was taken
into the rotunda Office, where DR.. Kramer
tried to persuade her to abandon the idea
of going to Utah with the Mormons, but
to go to her daughter instead.
Mrs. Barnes said she was anxious to
see her daughter, and was willing to 60
to her and let her husband and daughters
precede her to Utah, if her husband
would agree. DIR. Kramer appealed to
Barnes, who turned to his wife and almost
shouted:
"1fyou stop with your daughter you
will lose your soul for the sake of your
daughter, and also when get to Utah
III get fresh one"
Mrs. Barnes didn't seem to be more
than half convert to Mormonism, but
her husbands bullying manner decided
her. She said she would have to follow
him, and wept. Through her sobs she
begged DR.. Kramer to send her love to
her daughter.
you've got to 60 to Salt Lake." Barnes
exclaimed, eff you want to get in heaven.
I've been Latter Day Saint on the other
side, and was fool not to start to Utah
before"
Mrs. Barnes left for Utah with the
Mormons in the afternoon.

a Few Thoughts II on the. Homestead.

Mr.. EDITOR IT is quite evident that
in the early future this. important ques.
ton will come; up for consideration.
There ID q very great difference between
a,modi difcation Of the present Law and an
entire abrogation Of the bene6cent
principle which lies at the foundation
of all homestead and exemption laws:
IFS the former be the object, then the
probability is that there would be una.
snimity Of action If the latter, then,it il
almost certain to meet with defeat: If,
Iasi is universally conceded, the coils Of
the credit and mortgage system are the
:Pandora's box ont of which have issued
all our financial troubles IN The past.
upon what principle of logic can it be
reasonably concluded that in extension
3of the, e,credit system, By the abrogation
Sofs the homestead, would cure the evil of
which ne all so justly complain. In.
deco, it would only add fuel to the fame
which; is already consuming all the profits
of the agricultural producer, and would
complete the ruin Of the farmer, ,by sub
1stituting the mortgage system for the
homestead, which TO- say the least is
swapping the devil;for 3 witch. We
have tried the mortgage system already
to our hearts content, and in nine cases
Sof ten it has resulted in transferring the
last foot Of soil belonging to the home.
stead from the original owner to the
hand of the stranger. In the very copy
lof the INTELLIaENcER containing the
announcement of Q bill to be presented
in the next Legislature for the abroga-
1tion of the homestead, We counted seven
or eight advertisements Of foreclosure of
land, under the mortgage system. In:
deed, until the late decision Of the
Supreme Court the mortgage system, as
construed BY Circuit Courts, virtually
Iabrogated the organic Law of the land as,
to the homestead. Under this mortgage
and Lien system, with the usury rates Of
interest, ,inaugurated in this State, we are
as rapidly as the wheels can
move to the condition Of Ireland to. day,
d nation of hungry, dissatisfied tenants,
with the landlords enforcing their claims
at the point of the bsyonet. The only
to this terrible condition Of
things, SO far as our present system of
lands is concerned, Is the homestead, and
yet this fact attested by our expe.
rience for the lsst ten years, our legisla.
tors are seeking ruthlessly to tear away
this safeguard to the homes Of our peo.
pie, and ainging the women and children
out Of doors. We know that the credit
system has ruined the country. Why:
then spersist longer in bolsteriDg up
system which is rotten and usurious to
the core, rather than substituting q.
healthy financial system, in the interest
of labor rather than money. With such
. asystem inaugurated, entirely practica-
BILE, on q cash basis, we will need neither
homestead nor lien laws, but "pay as
you go." SIS. !, : !

The Singular Picture Represented b!
Charleston TODAY,

=
Special Dispatch to the Gol,tnn0ia Register. /.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 1O.-There has
been no lack of excitement in Charleston
this week-in fact the city may be said
to have undergone a socio-commercial-
industrial earthquake of the greatest
magnitude, and it is only hoped that its
recovery from its effects will be as rapid
and as complete as was its recovery from
the seismic troubles of 1886. The yari.
ous events have been chronicled as they
occurred in the columns of the Register.
A summary Of the situation, however,
may not be uninteresting at this time.
RAILROAD FREIGHTs.
To begin with, it was discovered that
Charleston was being Disseminated
against in freight rates over the Green
vile Railroad. In plain language it is
charged that South Carolina cotton could
be carried from points on the Greenville
Railroad, and on the Charlotte road to
Norfolk, and on the Wilmington, Colum.
bia and Augusta Railroad to Whining
ton, N. O., at cheaper rates than it can
be brought to Charleston. tits probable
that there never has been year since
1870 in which Charleston has not been
Disseminated against.
But these recent cases have excited the
Indignation of the commercial commu-
nifty, and Captain George 81. Walter, an
old merchant and cotton factor, has been
appointed special agent to travel over
the roads named, get up the evidence
and bring the matter before the Railroad
Commission.

the ways and means to q sucoossful
Termination of the Clubs mission.
So retiring that night with his brain
filed with the visions, that that
city conferred, he dreamed the hap
py dreams of men, who had, or who
were on the eve OF great achieve
ment. The next morning dawned as
bright and as beautiful as it is pos
sible for a Peruvian morning TO be.
In accordance with the programme
laid down, the visiting party took
the early morning train from Callao,
and in an hours time stood in the
streets of Lima, the capital OF Peru.
What sensations filed the breast of
the Chaplain, when he found his
feet scattering the dust of this his
toric land, he was in Lima, the once
magnificent eyalet Of the gay and
frolicsome Peruvians, the city which
was in their own language "El cielo
de las meyeres, FL Purgatorio de los
hombres, y ell INFERNO de los Bur-
ros." Slowly strolling along the
streets, he stood before the histori-
cal church of San Francisco, which
in connection with the world cele-
brated convent of the same name,
loomed up before him as royal re-
membrance of finished architecture.
The facade ponderous yet correct in
its style, inspired the soul OF the
beholder with feelings of reverence.
1t was so solemn yet so suggestive
of q nations great past,
that even the world travelled and
hardened sight.seer, could not sup
press the tear of regret that was in
his eye. Entering the cathedral he
was struck with the truly imperial
granduer that everywhere met his
gaze. The main church was a Sc
ries of chapels all opening into one
large square, by the means of arches
of Moorish style, and leading 10 the
steps of the sanctuary, wherein was
erected the ground altar, as superb
and finished a piece of sculpture as
seen anywheres in the world. The
ascent to the table being made by
means of forty steps of marble, and
bordered on either end by huge
candleabras of gold, holding waxen
candles. The roof of the sanctuary
presented a study-it was circular
in form, supported by pillars of
marble, with brass bases and capt.
tals-a representation of the beauti-
fication of San Francisco was paint
ed on the ceiling in a style that
plainly vouched the master genius
of the painter, which the walls be-
hind the pillars were large paint
ings descriptive of scriptural truths.
AS the Chaplain walked about the
church, every step seemed to bring
before him some new wonder, or re-
veal some object for admiration.
Having almost wearied his mind and
body in the inspection of this mag
nificent palace of religion, he des-
cended into the tomb beneath the
altar wherein reposed the body of
the cathedral's patron saint, Fran
cisco, a Mauselum of many colored
marbles rising high-arose from the
centre of the pit surrounded by in
Vulnerable lighted tapers, whilst the
air was redolent with the perfume of
burning incense. Everything sug-
gested the abode of the sanity
dead.

&C &c A r

THE ABOVE REQUEST is HEARD
Il da ly iii cigar stores, saloons and
other p aces where cigars are sold, for
tits an undisputed fact that most smokers
prefer mild cigar and that those who
have for long time smoked. strong
cigars, principally imported Manilas,
will, after having thoroughly injured
the stomach and impaired the nervous
system, surely want a mild cigar, if they
could find the right kind.
How many thousands of smokers who
suffer from loss of appetite, headache,
nervous irritability, asthma, etc., and
who have tried all possible remedies
without success, might be cured if they
knew that their sutferings were caused
by the Incorporate use Of strong cigars,
and that they should only smoke mild
and properly prepared ones.
1t is fact that all mild cigars agree
well with smokers, for in most cases
there is lack of care in the selection of
the tobacco, and often the necessary ex-
perience for it is wanting, yet there is
one brand which suits the most fastidious
smoker, and that is
